A mobile mammography event took place at WellSpan Family Health Georgetown, 1135 Georgetown Road, Christiana, on Oct. 30. The event provided an advanced 3D mammography to 12 women. A screening typically takes 15 to 20 minutes to complete.

The Mobile Mammography Coach enables WellSpan Health to bring mammography screenings to rural and underserved communities throughout southcentral Pennsylvania. This effort is intended to ensure health equity by providing patients with this early detection screening by increasing their access to care. WellSpan noted that the comforting and calming environment of the coach is similar to the care provided at a brick-and-mortal imaging location. WellSpan also reported that early diagnosis of breast cancer often leads to better outcomes and more available treatment options.
